The Home Buyer Tax Credit has gone away for new purchases, but Uncle Sam has extended the credit to those buyers who had a contract in place on or before April 30, 2010. If you didn't get a chance to take advantage of the home buyer tax credit all is not lost. You can always buy a home at any time, but some times are better than others... and that would be true right now.
The secret to getting the best deal on a home is to buy when the property prices and the interest rates are at their lowest. That is NOW... those 2 factors don't usually come together very often.
Jump on the bandwagon and score big savings while you can. You don't want to be caught in the classic "Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda" scenario later.

Rent vs. Buy |
Are you throwing your money out the window by renting?
This Renting vs. Buying Comparison illustrates the real cost of home ownership for renters with a $50,000/year income as compared to a $1200/month rental payment. The results of this analysis show the tenant is losing in excess of $650.00 each month by renting. This includes the tax considerations and a modest appreciation rate of 3 percent, which historically is a low appreciation rate.
